How to make transferring property less painful

This entry was posted on September 18, 2015 by Scott Pendlebury.

Whether you are about to buy a new home, or you are thinking about selling, there are many things to consider. A seller needs to consider advertising and marketing, legal contracts, open for inspections and presenting the property. A buyer needs to consider whether the property is suitable in terms of location, style and size, what is the right value and whether the property is affordable.

Hire a conveyancer

If you are not sure about any of the legal documentation, it is best to get a conveyancer who will be able to help you out. The conveyancer helps with the transfer of ownership of a legal title of land from one person to another. They typically provide advice and information about a property, prepare the contract and conduct the settlement process.

Think Conveyancing are experts at helping people with selling their homes. Just remember without a contract anything you do will be null and void, meaning that the transaction never occurred.

Present your home for more overall value

A property seller should always consider making simple investments to make their home more appealing to buyers. You do not need to spend a lot of money to get a great return on investment. Updating fixtures, a fresh coat of paint, a professional clean and some de-cluttering is often all you need to add significantly value to a property during a sale campaign.
